When you’re dreaming of all that sweet new snowboard gear you’re going to get next season, a snowboard bag is rarely the first thing that comes to mind. But one thing that will get your stoke even higher than a brand new board is planning out the trip of a lifetime. And whatever that means to you, whether it’s a long car trip to the closest mountain, a journey out West to experience the big mountain meccas, or a flight across the world to chase legendary Japanese powder, you’re going to need a good one of the best snowboard bags to help get you there when traveling with snowboard gear. For each type of traveler (and snowboarder), different features take priority, so we put together this list of our favorite snowboard bags on the market to help you pick out the bag that's right for you.
Each year brands continue to push the envelope with materials and construction, going for lighter weight while still maintaining the durability you need out of a snowboard bag to last season after season. Additionally, they are creative with adding additional storage so you can stow everything from boots and techwear to the little accessories that make all the difference.
Who needs the high roller suite anyway? Your boards sure don't thanks to the Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag. This bag has everything you need for a lower-profile board transport system. Fully padded, it can hold a full setup or a couple of decks, and even includes a boot bag. The external pocket keeps tools and wax handy. Complete with a roller and handle-to-handle interface, the Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag links up with your other suitcase for fast airport travel.
This Dakine bag is one of our favorite roller bags around for airport travel. It fits enough boards for most trips, has a compact profile, and what really sets it apart is the removable boot bag that allows for customizable modular storage on the go.
